Testimonials

"The care, generosity, containment, love, acceptance, wisdom and attention I received by Param and Adya were by far the greatest and most powerful I have ever been given in my life. In a matter of 3 days Param and Adya gave the best of themselves (which seems never-ending) to me in dedication to my healing process. I have had multiple experiences with retreats and plant medicines and none of them compare. It was like I was the most important being in the universe for them and they were completely present in every moment that they guided me deeper into my process and myself. Their total love and acceptance of me coupled with an uncompromising (yet gentle!) will to get to the deepest and most true intentions and layers of myself provided me with a valuable window into myself, my struggles, and discovering my inner power to continue walking on my journey. I cannot recommend their services enough. They are more than friends or family. They are two of the most exceptional souls I have ever met and it is an honor and pleasure to be in their presence and receive their gifts and deep wisdom. So much thanks."

"It seems almost impossible to express in words what is happening beyond what can be said. The encounter with Adya and Param came about by coincidence. Or something we call coincidence on an external level. In fact, already the first encounter felt like a reunion. Familiarity from the very first second. At no time in our conversations that followed did I feel persuaded or coerced into anything, but I always felt invited, accepted and noticed. The ceremonies I have witnessed so far have been performed with great devotion. I felt safe and comfortable at all times. I was particularly impressed by the precious conversations that followed. With absolute attention, as I have never experienced in this intensity with anyone else, they dedicate themselves to their interlocutor, listen, ask questions that encourage you to explore within yourself, give answers that lead further and never seem instructive or dogmatizing and at the same time are clear as a mirror. My experience with Adya and Param is one of the best I've had in my entire life. It is good to know that there are people who serve humanity with such dedication and help seekers find answers and healing. Finding your shaman is like finding a very, very good friend"

"I cant thank you enough. Healing is a long journey, but one that has to start somewhere. I couldn’t believe how sad I was to leave, these people really do the work and know what they are talking about. Professional in a sense of knowledge, but welcoming and open in a sense of helping guide you to the healing places you need to be. Again, I cant explain what this meant to me, how this retreat helped open my eyes and heart to new beginnings in my soul. Words aren't enough for my experience, and I am extremely grateful for Param welcoming me to his retreat and for opening his place for me. Much much love. L

"What I'm about to tell you is not a commercial, nor is it a fancy story telling aiming at being nice towards my dear guests. What I'm about to say is only the truth, my truth. I am positive that Adya and Param contributed a great deal, within those few days spent in their guidance, to a meaningful breakthrough into the depths of my heart. Their home, where I almost felt myself like home towards the end, is sculpted in their image : Simple, warm, authentic and raw. There are no distractions for the mind. Deep conversations that invite you to speak from your heart, and notice the difference with speaking from your mind, petting and playing with their dog and their cats, contemplating the southern bushes and vegetation populated by sacred medicine plants, taking a dip into the pound surrounded by frogs, gazing at the stars under the milky way at night by your Teepee, sitting by the fire, and being a guest to share at their table the delicious, natural and nourishing meals they cook to refill your body as they cleanse your spirit. Adya's piercing sight went straight to my nods and inner conflicts, pushing the buttons were I didn't want to be pushed, always with a sincere and loving intent. And Param was always there to support me and take me out of the deep waters when I needed it. They provide, I feel, a beautiful balance between polarities that reflected into my inner polarities and helped harmonize them. At each step of the way, I felt held, listened and understood. This was the safest place I met so far, helping me to release and allow my vulnerability to surface. I had a splendid rebirth with Param, releasing some of the deepest sadness stuck inside. And during my stay, they both adapted their medicine plan to the place I was each day. This flexibilty and he many options they provide was greatly appreciated and essential to breakthrough my mental barriers. Thanks to all of this, and much more that would take an essay to explain, the ceremonies spent in their guidance lead me finally, after years of searching and experiences, to open something deep inside. This opening manifested itself in a beautiful gift received from the sky during one of the ceremonies. Since that day, I'm listening closely, following the path that was felt deep inside. My gratitude for Adya and Param is boundless. And I know I'll meet them very soon on the path again. To go even deeper. Brothers, sisters, if you're reading this : The medecine is bitter, but the gift is truly priceless. So, if you're searching for an authentic path, willing to be stripped off all your unnecessary protections and being shook a little, always with love and care : this is the place for you. Sincerely, A. "

"Three weeks ago, I returned from my first retreat with Param and Adya, and I can happily say that I feel much better than before the trip. I have been in therapeutic treatment for over a year due to anxiety disorder. Working as a self-employed artist is challenging, and I had a traumatizing childhood because my parents couldn't show me love, and I was subjected to stress and violence from birth. This led to a feeling of being at the mercy of life, causing my nervous system to be in survival mode from birth, which haunted me throughout my life until the retreat. Today, I sleep much more peacefully and have more trust in myself and the world, and I feel deep gratitude for life. It is much easier for me to be present and actively participate in life. Living with this family for a week was a very healing experience. For the first time, I slept in a tipi in nature, and it was an absolute safe space and a grounding experience. The connection with nature and the distance from the hectic everyday life and social media were already very soothing on their own. I participated in four ceremonies and, to be honest, was scared beforehand because it is hard for me to relinquish control. Param and Adya were always there for me with all their love, calm, patience, and understanding, allowing me to relax and surrender to the process. In the ceremonies, I encountered life itself and myself on such a deep level that I realized I was killing myself day by day with certain dysfunctional, driven thoughts and behaviors, and internally, I was closer to death than to life. At 28, I experienced for the first time what life feels like, and the stress that had accompanied me for so long fell away from me in an instant. During the Bufo ceremony, I connected with my body and breath on such a deep level that I now strengthen this feeling of aliveness day by day and remember that moment with a smile and a sense of trust and hope. I am already planning further ceremonies with Param and Adya and can joyfully say that I have found companions, love, trust, connection, and deep healing in you, which I wish for every person in this world. The encounter with the plant medicine was one of the most important and healing experiences of my life, and no words are enough to describe this feeling of relief and gratitude. Even weeks later, both continue to help with integration, and we are in regular contact. This is just the beginning. "
